Blizzard have announced there is no housing with patch 12.0.5’s launch. They discovered a critical bug that made them disable the system until they can fix it. This will only affect the Americas and Oceania realms. No ETA for the fix was given, but there will be a small maintenance when it is ready.


During our routine testing with realms offline to deploy the new patch, we discovered a critical bug in Housing that would cause unacceptable errors for some players.

Fixing this bug is a top priority for us, and while we work on it, we’ve decided to open realms on patch 12.0.5 with Housing and Neighborhoods disabled in this region (The Americas and Oceania).

Once we have a fix developed and tested, we will perform an additional brief maintenance in this region to bring Housing back online for everyone.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding.

Housing isn’t the only thing that’s disabled in 12.0.5. The new Mythic+ achivement, which grants players that reach 3400 rating a mount of their choice from previous seasons, is disabled. There’s is a bug with it and a fix is being worked on, with eligible players receiving it as soon as it’s ready. Here’s the official statement:


In the 12.0.5 patch, we’re introducing the new achievement Midnight Keystone Myth – Season One. This new achievement rewards a saddle that can be exchanged for a mount of your choice once you’ve attained a Mythic+ Rating of at least 3400 during Midnight Season 1.

At this time, we’re working to fix a bug with the new achievement and we’ve disabled it in this region (The Americas and Oceania).

We’re working to enable the achievement as soon as possible, and when the fix is deployed, all players who qualify will receive the achievement. Thank you for your patience!
